Abstract
The Islamic world, with 57 countries, accounts for about a quarter of the world's population. Islamic countries, in addition to lagging behind in industrial production, are also in a poor state of science and research. Scientific evaluations reflect the fact that the share of Islamic countries in scientific output is very small compared to the total scientific output of the world. Scientific productions as an important measure of the activity of the scientific system of countries today play a vital role for decision-making bodies at national and international levels. In recent years, some Islamic countries, including Iran, Turkey, Egypt, and some other countries, have made great efforts to become more active in the field of science, resulting in increased scientific output in reputable journals and scientific bases. One of the major disadvantages of the research system is the inability to conduct research and the lack of interaction between industry and universities. Strategies such as formulating laws and regulations in the field of academic research, providing legal support to researchers, the need to purchase research resources for universities, addressing seemingly small but practical issues, and enhancing the purchasing power of research interests can partly enhance the status of science production in the Islamic world. To improve. However, Islamic countries need fundamental scientific and research activities at all levels to reach their true and historical status.
